A towering wheat stack looms over gleaners in a farmyard

A large conical wheat stack, built from dense hatched pen lines over a pale wash, dominates the centre of the sheet. Two stooped figures in blue gather gleanings at lower left, small chickens peck near the stack's base, and farmhouses with orange-tiled roofs and a second, ladder-braced stack stand behind. The sky is a light blue wash with a few scattered clouds. From the reed-pen and watercolour drawings Van Gogh made in Arles.

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) painted for barely ten years and produced some 2,100 works, most of them in the last two. After early dark canvases of Dutch peasant life he moved to Paris in 1886, absorbed Impressionism and Japanese prints, and in Arles and Saint-Rémy arrived at the thick, directional brushwork and saturated colour that carry his sunflowers, cypresses and night skies. He sold almost nothing in his lifetime. His paintings are held by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Musée d'Orsay and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
